Just Another Missing Person

"Just Another Missing Person" was "just another book" that was waaay too disjointed and "all over the place" for my fastidious palate.
Told from multiple POVs in different timelines, I frequently found myself in a state of constant confusion.
I listened to the audiobook and although the book's full-cast narration was superb, perhaps reading the eb00k was the way to go with this title.
In general, I much prefer books with fewer well-developed characters than books with more characters that can be counted.
Keeping track of many characters was no easy feat in an audiobook with different timelines.
When the book ended, I appreciated and applauded the author's clever twists, but felt that the book's storyline could have been better executed.
2.5 stars.

uh oh, this wouldn't be a good fit for me either. Thanks for the warning! Fair & honest Jayne!
Great review! Sorry it didn’t work for you!
I think this would have been hard as an Audible! Hope you love your next!
Great reviewer felt the same on this one 😊
You bring up so many wonderful points Jayne. Now in my waking moments, I agree with everything you share. I still gave it a 4 star, but...I think my review probably reflected some of the conflicts I had with it, too. Wonderful review! :)
Thanks for liking my review and for your words, Karen. Perhaps the e-book was a better experience than the audiobook. Also, since Gillian McAllister is a go-to author for me, my expectations were probably set too high.
I really would like to try this author but perhaps I'll start with another book. Great review!
I felt this way with McAllister’s previous book- but then ended up liking it more by the end. I was wondering if I was going to feel the same way about this book. Sorry this one didn’t work out better for you. Great review, Jayne!
